The report is a framework for the operationalization of the east African Local/ Sub-National Government Forum (EALGF) strategy 2015-2020. EAGLF was established in 2011 as a new initiative to integrate regional integration commitments in the local/sub-national government development agenda. In light of the global understanding that local/sub-national Governments are the future anchors of development, the EAC Partner States are increasingly taking affirmative action to localise the regional and global development agenda. In that regard, a number of collaborative efforts of local/sub-national and central governments are in place. These include establishment of mechanisms for the full and effective participation of citizens, local and sub-national governments in public expenditure allocation as well as new forms of financing of local development. In spite of their centrality in economic development, local/sub-national governments are not directly linked to regional and international initiatives which now act as anchors of development.
